Pat, I'm going to read the other posts but not before I say this:

You are millimeters away from being on my Ignore List. I know you don't care about that, but you also have come nowhere near close to satisfying the challenge I laid in this thread.

I see, you asked for a spoon feeding of ideas, and are are now acting the petulant teenager when I didn't give what you demanded, Tsk-tsk.

Frankly, the idea of no gubmint is ASININE. Here is the only way you can possibly make anybody interested in your intellectual diarrhea:

Tell us how this works.

No, I won't do taht because if I did, then I'd be taking the place of government, whose job it is to tell you how it workis

It's quite likely that the folks in the northeast, north of New York, would like things pretty much the status quo, and would continue their tax funded methods. After all, they pretty much invented the American nanny state long before it reached South Carolina.

Don't just toss unworkable notions out and expect us to respect your thinking.

How do you know them to be unworkable. The federal government has been acting to prevent any experimentation by state and local governments for 140 years, and become acute in their demands that the states are mere adjuncts to the federal government most of the time. So where is this proof that no government won't work?

What happens when there is no government? What would be the chances that another nation might think we'd make a good target for takeover?

Who would or could do that? The cops in America can't control the large cities here, what foreign invader would be able to do so? Who is this mystery country, anyway?

Until you demonstrate otherwise, your posts are going to be considered idiotic.

Translation: You have no notion of how to do what you want done in America without stealing money from others to do it, and plan to continue asking for that theft at gunpoint unless I and/or other libertarians or anarchists provide you a completely worked out plan and proof it will work. That's not going to happen for several reasons, let's see if you can figure them out.

You would not have done well in Dr. Seaman's (Dean Seaman) philosophy courses. He would have tolerated your antics roughly two minutes. There was always someone like you in each course.

Perhaps when I was 20-something; today it's quite likely I'd cut his shriveled up socialist ass (philosophically speaking), and leave it in a heap on the academic floor.

Enough posturing.

The demand by folks that need government, whether it's because they like to tell others what to do or for some other rationale, that libertarians provide them with pat answers is not new.

I say to you that there is a huge repository of ideas, from philosophical to pragmatic, available out there. The Mises Institute has nearly everything Murray Rothbard wrote available, and there are many more. All anyone needs to do it read it for themselves. Here's a bibliography that will supply a good start to anyone really interested in learning.
